Who is Ghoul Friday?

I'm a Canadian artist living in Toronto, Ontario. When I'm not transforming my house into a ghoulish scene at Halloween, I'm creating mini-monsters for local shows in the city (and occasionally, for sale online).

It was my first real Halloween party, and I wanted it to be great. I constructed a haunted house the length of the basement and lead people through dangling, slimy snakes hanging from the ceiling - just one example of the many forms and obstacles waiting for them in the shadow. I hadn't gotten over my fear of the dark, and I was deathly afraid of being in the basement alone (never mind with the lights off), but to make sure I could see well enough to safely guide each guest one by one through the haunted space, I sat alone in the pitch black basement for 20 minutes before the party goers even started to arrive.

That's when she was born, the little ghoul in the basement. Since then, she has come back to me every year, usually in late summer, ready to build creatures for Halloween. Sure, she's there throughout the other months, peeking through my eyes at the newest horror film being released, or tickling my neck so I turn to see the brochure for the Festival of Fear coming to the city.

Thank you for your site. Few freely share such jewels that they have aquired over the years for free. Again, thank you and I will make sure to post your "My Ghoul Friday" decal at our party so your ideas can be credited to you:)

Just wanted to drop in and say I love the new website. I especially love that I can see all your previous Halloweens and can watch the progression into more and more of your own creations. That and your story about little Ghoul in the basement. We're so lucky you let her out to play...
(and btw, I got my hug from Lisa...)
